[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reports that the shooter was bullied mercilessly at school due to a lisp and stutter. More red flags. [/quote]

Maybe he was rejected by his classmates and peers for being an evil psychopath. [/quote]

Write whatever narrative brings you comfort. Bullied, incel man-children with guns are a real and present danger. [/quote]

Yes, they are.

Can we stop with the anti-bullying campaigns at schools? People have made a fortune from those. Maybe some kids deserve to be red-flagged for being weird. [/quote]

That's utterly the wrong takeaway here.  This shooter was failed by a number of people in his life, particularly his drug addicted mother, and it seems that for the past five years or so, he's been on a steady downward spiral with no one to stop it.  The fact that this country allows a kid like this to walk into a store and buy high capacity magazines is an unspeakable tragedy.  Maybe this kid was just a sociopath from birth, and utterly unredeemable.  Or maybe if he hadn't been able to buy those guns, he could have gotten some help and turned his life around in some way.  We'll never know.  We do know that he was allowed to take the lives of 19 other people -- and permanently scar dozens or hundreds of others--because this County as collectively unwilling to say that a teen should not have a gun like this.[/quote]
